Playing Ball
Curveballs come and they go They exist in mere Fragments of time As they test our consciousness And stretch our faith They provide us with an opportunity to define Who we really are Curveballs come and they go They are not meant To rip us apart As they challenge our focus And strengthen our hope They provide us with a fresh start On a journey of self-renewal Curveballs come...

The Ball
The sun lights up the air at dawn, and crystal lutes play the tune. We wonder whatever went wrong as we choke on funeral fumes. They leave it in the air tonight, packed in slowly a tempest fright.

LOVE IN THE AIR
Love is a beautiful thing A thing of thy soul the song we all sings But only few Have the courage To dance to thy beat The rhythm of the heart Without retreating even amidst the heat.

Premium Member I'm tired of the way the ball always bounces
I'm tired of the way the ball always bounces, and of gaining pounds while only eating ounces, tired that for every one step forward, there's two steps back, and that my glass is always half empty because of that crack, and tired of the poetry teacher - who my name perpetually mispronounces....
